This workshop aims to discuss issues on the interaction of prosody, syntax, and information structure, from an interdisciplinary point of view. All the speakers of this workshop have recently been working on relevant issues, especially looking at the phenomena related to the intonation of focus and (wh-)questions in Japanese.

From this specific topic, we hope to extend the discussion to some other potentially related phenomena, as well as to other languages. With that goal in mind, we welcome researchers interested in any area of prosody, syntax, and information structure to attend the workshop and join the discussion.

This workshop is held as a continuation of the one held last year at Indiana University. For more information about the previous workshop, please visit the WPSI 1 website: http://www.iub.edu/~ykling/wpsi.html

WPSI 2 is funded by Project A1 of the SFB 632 'Information Structure'.
